This analysis segments customers using RFM (Recency, Frequency, Monetary) methodology to identify high-value customer groups and inform targeted marketing strategies.
Key Objectives: - Segment customers based on purchasing behavior - Identify Champions (best customers) and At-Risk customers - Provide actionable recommendations for each segment - Quantify revenue opportunity by segment
Business Impact: [Will be filled after completing analysis]
RFM is a customer segmentation technique that analyzes three key behavioral dimensions:
Recency (R): How recently did the customer make a purchase? - Measured as: Days since last purchase - Business logic: Recent customers are more engaged and likely to purchase again - Scoring: Lower days = higher score (more recent = better)
Frequency (F): How often does the customer purchase? - Measured as: Total number of transactions - Business logic: Frequent buyers demonstrate loyalty and product satisfaction - Scoring: Higher transaction count = higher score
Monetary (M): How much does the customer spend? - Measured as: Total revenue generated - Business logic: High spenders are most valuable to the business - Scoring: Higher spend = higher score
Scoring Approach: Quintile-based (1-5 scale) - Divide customers into 5 equal groups for each metric - Assign scores 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest) - Combine into 3-digit RFM code (e.g., “543”)
Segmentation: 11 distinct customer segments - Based on RFM score patterns - Each segment has specific characteristics and recommended actions

Summary statistics: Overview of RFM metric distributions before scoring.
Now we’ll calculate RFM scores using the quintile method, dividing customers into 5 equal groups for each metric.
# Calculate Recency score (REVERSE: lower days = higher score)
# We use desc() because recent customers (low days) should get high scores
customer_rfm <- customer_summary %>%

| 1 | 875 | 178.03472 | 373.12292 | 268.7 |
Recency scoring complete: Customers divided into 5 groups. Score 5 = purchased most recently (best), Score 1 = purchased long ago (worst).
Key observation: Notice how R_Score 5 has the lowest “Avg Days” (most recent customers).

| 2 | 874 | 1 | 2 | 1.3 |
| 1 | 875 | 0 | 1 | 1.0 |
Frequency scoring complete: Score 5 = highest transaction count (most loyal), Score 1 = fewest transactions.
Key observation: F_Score 5 customers have significantly more transactions than lower scores.

| 1 | 875 | £0.00 | £242 | £144.06 | £126,053 |
Monetary scoring complete: Score 5 = highest spenders (most valuable), Score 1 = lowest spenders.
Critical insight: Notice the revenue concentration. M_Score 5 customers likely contribute disproportionate revenue.

Key findings from segment analysis:
Interpretation from the table above: - Which segment drives the most revenue? Champions drive the most revenue - What’s the revenue concentration? (Do top 2-3 segments drive majority of revenue?) The revenue is concentrated between Champions and Loyal Customers - How does customer count relate to revenue contribution? We see a general trend of higher number of customers being correlated with higher revenue - Which segments show high recency (engaged) vs low recency (at-risk)? Champions show the highest high recency and Lost show the lowest recency

Day 1 Complete! ✓
We’ve successfully: - ✅ Calculated RFM scores for all customers - ✅ Assigned customers to 11 business segments - ✅ Analyzed segment characteristics and revenue distribution - ✅ Identified key risks and opportunities
Day 2 Preview:
Tomorrow we’ll create compelling visualizations including: 1. Customer distribution by segment (bar chart) 2. Revenue contribution comparison (stacked bar) 3. RFM 3D scatter plot (interactive) 4. Score heatmap 5. Segment radar charts 6. Pareto analysis 7. Customer lifecycle flow
Day 3 Preview:
Final day will focus on: - Business recommendations for each segment - Marketing action plans - Budget allocation strategy - Expected ROI calculations - Segment customer list exports
Now we’ll create compelling visualizations to communicate our RFM findings to stakeholders.
This shows how many customers are in each segment and helps identify the size of each group.

)Key insights from customer distribution:
Interpret this visualization: - Which segments have the most customers? The top three segments with most costumers are Champions, Hibernating, Lost - Are growth opportunity segments substantial? The only growth opportunity groups that seems substantial is the Potential Loyalists - What % of customers are in at-risk or churned categories? Approximatelly 40%
This reveals the critical insight: which segments drive revenue vs how many customers they represent.

## • Invest most in high-value, high-probability segments
## • Balance retention (Champions, Loyal) with growth (Potential)
## • Urgent intervention for At Risk (prevent revenue loss)
## • Minimal spend on low-probability recoveries
## • Measure and adjust based on actual ROI
